Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 116 Palace Banquet (2)

Nie Wushuang looked over and saw a very beautiful woman slowly walking in before seeing her. Today, for the first time, she changed her elegant dress from the past and wore a cloud-colored flowing brocade dress with a wavy hem that trailed behind her. The skirt was embroidered with various flowers, lifelike, like a flower fairy suddenly descending into the world.

She has eight gold hairpins on her head, and her forehead is decorated with flowers cut from gold foil. Bright and dazzling. Her face was already very soft, but now when she dressed up, she was soft and elegant, and as she looked around, it seemed that none of the flowers in the garden were as beautiful as her face.

Nie Wushuang looked at it for a while and then calmly withdrew his eyes. Yamei snorted coldly: "She arrived even later than the seventh princess. Now the princess's limelight has been stolen by her."

Nie Wushuang looked over and saw that the seventh princess in the pavilion had a pale complexion and bit her lower lip, as if she was extremely unwilling. Concubine Yun came late, bowed down in front of the Emperor and Queen, and naturally sat down at the Queen's head. Opposite is Qi Yan, the princess of Qi who has just been named Concubine De. Concubine Yun and Xiao Fengming laughed and talked to Yan Yan, but they seemed not to see her at all, which made the seventh princess Qi Yan turn pale with anger.

The concubines have taken their seats. As usual, it was the Emperor's Grand Prize, followed by singing and dancing, and there was a lot of drinking and drinking. Nie Wushuang and Yamei were in a remote place, only talking to the side. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, Nie Wu saw a touch of plain color walking in from the entrance of the Royal Garden.

The person who came had a beautiful and fair face and a thin figure. She was actually a concubine who never left the palace. Nie Wushuang thought he had seen it wrong, and blinked, only to realize that it was really the Jade Concubine.

Jade Concubine looked around but didn't find Yamei. She was not in a hurry and just stood by the door. Nie Wushuang subconsciously looked at Xiao Fengming in the pavilion, and saw him stand up slowly, as if he couldn't believe it. He took a few steps forward, and Jade Concubine felt his gaze, took a step back, and was about to turn around. Xiao Fengming had strode over.

"Are you here?" There was a familiar face in front of him, but he couldn't see the look that was familiar to him at all. The jade concubine gave a bitter smile, took a step back, and bowed down: "I pay my respects to the emperor."

"Pingshen..." Xiao Fengming helped her up, his eyes changed inexplicably, and finally he sighed: "It's good to be here."

Jade Concubine just remained silent. Nie Wushuang saw her eyes turn slightly red, and felt pity in her heart. She quietly pushed Yamei, gesturing for her to step forward to break the deadlock between the two. The beautiful woman looked at her, surprised and happy, whispered "thank you" to her in a low voice and went forward to help the concubine.

"Sister Yu, are you here?" Yamei stepped forward to help her. Xiao Fengming glanced at Yamei and said slowly: "You have worked hard to take care of her this year."

Yamei had never thought that Xiao Fengming would speak to her. She was so pleasantly surprised that she choked for a long time before saying, "The emperor has given me the reward."

"Late Qiu, do you want to come and sit in the pavilion?" Xiao Fengming asked. Late Autumn is the concubine’s maiden name, Feng.

Jade Concubine shook her head: "I feel more comfortable sitting with Ya Meiren and Nie Meiren." As she said this, she ignored Xiao Fengming and sat down with Yamei Ren.

The whole palace banquet continued after this small interlude. The singing and dancing started again, Nie Wushuang looked at Jade Concubine and said with a smile: "Jade Concubine has really figured it out."

The concubine took a sip of water and sighed: "I am not here for myself, I am here to fight for the grievances of the past. It is impossible for him and me to resolve..." She said the last sentence very low, Nie If Wushuang didn't listen carefully, he could hardly hear it.

Nie Wushuang sighed in his heart, and suddenly saw Concubine Yun's beautiful cold eyes staring at this place for a long time. There was something in her heart, and she was about to ask Jade Concubine again. Suddenly I saw Concubine Yun standing up, holding a glass of water and wine, leaving her seat and coming over gracefully.

"Sister Yu, long time no see, how are you?" Concubine Yun stood in front of the concubine, raised the water and wine, and a sneer overflowed from her red lips: "Sister Yu is willing to leave the palace, is it because the vows she made in the past have been broken?"

Jade Concubine picked up the wine glass in front of her, looked at the clear wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "That's because I no longer draw the earth as a prison." After she finished speaking, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and looked directly at Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun's face was slightly moved. She drank the wine in the glass silently, and her bright eyes suddenly looked at Nie Wushuang beside her. She smiled half-heartedly: "I heard that Nie Meiren was a talented woman who excelled in chess, calligraphy, and painting in Qi State. When she first sang, she was shocked. Hong' made a great show at the Queen Mother Qi's New Year's banquet. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see Nie Meiren's dancing today?"

Nie Wushuang looked at Concubine Dingyun with her beautiful eyes and knew that she must be angry with him for helping the concubine get out of the "Purple Myrtle Palace". Thinking about it, she bowed slightly and said, "I haven't danced for a long time. I'm afraid I will disappoint Concubine Yun."

Concubine Yun smiled understandingly, turned around, and said disdainfully: "Most people in the world will exaggerate. I'm afraid that Nie Mei is not as famous as she is famous for not dancing. However, I am afraid that Nie Mei is also unhappy to have Mrs. Guo, the first prime minister of Qi State, dance here. I wish.”

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Many eyes were on Nie Wushuang. She opened her scars mercilessly, waiting to see her lose her temper. Nie Wushuang looked at the pairs of eyes with unknown meaning in front of him and suddenly lost his voice.

Concubine Yun walked a few steps, and Nie Wushuang's cold voice came from behind: "Concubine Yun, please stay!" Concubine Yun slowly turned back and smiled disdainfully: "Nie Meiren has changed her mind again?"

Nie Wushuang stepped forward, looked directly into Concubine Yun's eyes, and smiled enchantingly: "I have a good idea, I wonder if Concubine Yun dares to try it."

"What is it?" Concubine Yun asked proudly.

"I heard that Concubine Yun is famous for her talents in the boudoir, and she is also a woman who excels in poetry, singing and dancing. I wonder if Concubine Yun would condescend to dance to the Emperor with my concubine, 'Shocking Clouds'." Nie Wushuang looked into her eyes.

Concubine Yun's face turned pale and red: "How dare you ask me to dance with you?"

Nie Wushuang looked at the blooming flowers in the imperial garden and said leisurely: "'Jingyun' is not difficult. It was also introduced to Qi from Ying State. Concubine Yun is a native of Qi State.

You should understand ‘Jingyun’, unless…”

"Unless what?" Concubine Yun asked angrily.

"Unless you are famous, why don't you meet her? Concubine Yun, don't you think so?" Nie Wushuang looked at her face and smiled.

"You——" Concubine Yun turned pale with anger.

Faced with her anger, Nie Wushuang seemed not to notice, and said calmly: "Since Concubine Yun refuses, I don't dare to embarrass myself."

After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly and prepared to leave. Concubine Yun suddenly said coldly: "Wait a minute!"
